Title: Impingement system in the drying section of a paper machine or the like
Inventor: SUNDQVIST HANS
IPC: D21F5/04
Filed: 2002-06-26
Abstract: An air impingement system for heating and drying a web travelling around a roll of a drying section of a paper machine. The system comprises a single hood so positioned to surround only a first lower portion of the roll upon which the web travels and contacts the roll, leaving unwrapped a second lower portion on each incoming side of the roll where the web still contacts the roll. A fan, a heating device, and means for directing air blown by the fan onto the first lower portion of the web are provided. The hood is so positioned to allow air blown onto the web to return to the hood for confining the circulation air within the hood. The impinged air is applied mainly on the trailing side of the roll where the web contacts the roll, and preponderantly on the lower half of the roll allowing the use of small spaces available between drying cylinders for installing /modernizing machines using the basement floor.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et un dispositif permettant d'obtenir une diffusion efficace dans des systèmes de transmission de données par paquets sans fil. Une seule identification MAC est utilisée pour assurer la diffusion à un groupe d'abonnés. L'utilisation des informations relatives à la qualité de la voie qui sont transmises par le groupe d'abonnés (200), permet à une station de base de déterminer l'identité de l'abonné dans les conditions (210) de voie les pires. La synchronisation et le format de transmission de la diffusion sont ensuite personnalisés de telle sorte que l'abonné, dans les conditions de voies les pires, puisse recevoir cette transmission (220). Si la synchronisation et le format de transmission sont choisis en fonction de l'abonné qui présente les conditions de voie les pires, il est probable que les autres abonnés seront en mesure de recevoir la transmission, eux aussi. Il découle de ce qui précède qu'au lieu d'envoyer plusieurs transmissions à plusieurs abonnés, on utilise une seule identification MAC pour effectuer une diffusion unique.

Title: Tandem time of flight mass spectrometer and method of use
Inventor: VERENTCHIKOV ANATOLI N
IPC: H01J49/10
Filed: 2003-04-29
Abstract: To provide comprehensive (i.e. rapid and sensitive) MS-MS analysis, the inventor employs a time-nested separation, using two time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometers. Parent ions are separated in a slow and long TOF1, operating at low ion energy (1 to l00eV), and fragment ions are mass analyzed in a fast and short TOF2, operating at much higher keV energy. Low energy fragmentation cell between TOF1 and TOF2 is tailored to accelerate fragmentation and dampening steps, mostly by shortening the cell and employing higher gas pressure. Since separation in TOF1 takes milliseconds and mass analysis in TOF2- microseconds, the invention provides comprehensive MS-MS analysis of multiple precursor ions per single ion pulse. Slow separation in TOF1 becomes possible with an introduction of novel TOF1 analyzers. The TOF-TOF could be implemented using a static TOF1, here described on the examples of spiratron, planar and cylindrical multi-pass separators with griddles spatial focusing ion mirrors.  Higher performance is expected with the use of novel hybrid TOF 1 analyzers, combining radio frequency (RF) and quadratic DC fields. RF field retains low-energy ions within TOF 1 analyzer, while quadratic DC field improves resolution by compensate for large relative energy spread.
